35 PER CENT SIGNED

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Sept. 14. Leaders of the federated "railway shopcrafts who to day began negotiating separate set tlements of the shopmen's strike, which began July 1, in accordance with the agreement adopted by the union's general policy committee, announced that several railroads had tel egraphed union headquarters indicating willingness to go into the legotia tlons. These, leaders said, were m addition to about 50 roads which previ ously had agreed to separate settle ments. The settlement is one by which the strike will be ended on some 50 or more roads, as announced last night at the close of the meeting of the general policy committee and provides for the return to work of the strikers in their former positions and. at the. rate of pay prescribed by the railroad labor board. Any dispute or controversy incident. to the settlement will, be re ferred to a commission of 12 members, six of whom will be elected by the roads in the agreement and six by the shopcrafts. Early Return Possible. The Chicago and Northwestern, one of the large western systems party to the agreement was expected to meet leaders of its shopmen sometime today with the possibility that the men will return to work tomorrow or Monday B. M. Jewell, head of the railway employes department of the American Federation of Labor did not issue an official list of the roads which had agreed to the settlement plan. He said such information must come from the railroads. Mr. Jewell was expected to confer today . with members of the shopcraft . executive council whose members still remained in Chicago today. Seniority Left Out The question of seniority which developed after the strike began and proved to be the chief barrier to an earlier settlement, was not specifically mentioned in the agrement which provides that the shopmen shall return to work in "positions of the class" they occupied before the strike. The agreement made no' mention either of working conditions or the contract system for "farming out" shop work, which, with the wage controversy, were the original issues in the strike. - ... . . . Disputes over the "relative standing" of employes, and new disputes which might arise as outgrowths ol the strike, shall, under the peace terms be referred to adjustment boards composed of 6ix representa tives of the carriers and an equal number of employes, if the disputes cannot be settled as an individual matter. Must Find Places The agreement requires the signatory roads to find places for all returned strikers within 30 days after it becomes effective Roads are not required to take back strikers who have committed acts of violence. J. A. Franklin, president of the boilermakers, said a great number of shopmen probably will be back at their old jobs within a week. W. H. Finley, president of the Chicago and Northwestern, said the road would make a settlement with its shopmen today. Much of the credit for effecting separate settlements was given by the shopcrafts' executive council to S. Davies Warfield, president of the Seaboard Air Line, and head of a railroad securities company said to conr trol $13,000,000,000 of stocks and bonds. Conferences between Mr. Warfield, Mr. Jewell and Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio, in Baltimore early this' month opened the way to the agreement. It was Mr. Warfield who stuck to the finish for virtually this kind of a settlement in the conferences at New York last month. Confirm Inclusion. Officials of only two of the largl western railway systems today confirmed inclusion of their roads in the list of lines party to the general settlement agreement. These were the Chicago and Northwestern and the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul roads. No official list of roads has been announced either by union or rail executives. A number of the important western lines were not party to the agreement and will not be included in the settlement, according to statements of officials today. These included Chicago. Burlington and Quincy, Chicago and Alton, and the Chicago Great Western. WASHINGTON, Sept. 14. Advices to the labor department today from its representatives in Chicago todaysaid roads representing about 35 percent of the country's mileage had signified their intention of ending the shopmen's strike on the basis of the agreement accepted yesterday by the shopcrafts' general policy committee and that roads representing an addi tional 30 percent were ready to end the strike. The commission decided upon to adludicate differences between work ers and rail heads as provided under the agreement, labor department of ficials were inrormea win De composea of six shopcraft representatives and not officials of the railroad brotner hoods as originally provided. Section four of the agreement, the advices further explained, was inter preted in Chicago by union workers to mean that the railroads signatory to the agreement will meet union repre sentatives on wage questions ana an other matters growing out of the strike and upon failure to agree on points at Issue, the question under dispute will be referred to the commission provided for In Section five.

PREMIER VENIZELOS WILL NOT WORK WITH KING CONSTANTS (By Associated Press) PARIS, Sept. 14. Former Premier Venizelos, of Greece, for whose return to power a strong movement is under way in Athens, never will consent to work with King Constantine, say his friends here, "according "to Excelsior. As long as Constantine is on the throne Venizelos .will refuse to have anything to do with the Greek state, they declare, but at the same timo he will not refuse his aid in saving the country from what he terms Constantine's blunders. M. Venizelos. who arrived here yesterday from Geneva, also will visit "Rome and London in his private capacity, according to . Le Journal, to point out the Kemalist victory in Anatolia is more than a disaster to Hellenism and imperils the interests of the great powers in the near east, even France. He is emphasizing the danger of a well organized government at Angora working in close touch with Moscow and Berlin, the anti-Christian proceedings of the Kemalists, and the consequences of a Turkish invasion of Thrace. His friends maintain that under the present circumstances the former premier can be of greater use to his country in Paris and London than in Athens.

Government aid in financing the normal marketing of grain was advocated by Gov. Warren W. T. McCray in his speech at the Wayne county free fair Thursday afternoon. "Unless some thing is done to stabilize prices, the governor declared, there can be no lasting prosperity. s a program for aid, Gov. McCray proposed that a revolving fund of $300,000,000 be provided for the War Finance corporation to finance the export of grain. The governor was introduced by Paul Cornstock. In proposing that government aid be extended to finance export trade, Gov. McCray pointed out that a big carryover of corn, oats and wheat from last year together with the crops from this year would create a surplus for which he said only a market abroad could be hoped for. Many foreign countries, he added, were willing to make purchases provided means could be found for arranging paymentsr Will Take Up Question Gov. McCray said he proposed to take the question up with, Eugene C. Meyer, chairman of the finance corporation, with the , hope of getting approval of the plan, which he recalled was similar to that started by the governor last year and resulted in $350,000,000 of government funds being used as loans to farmers and aided them in holding their grain for normal market ing. When the movement was started last year, the governor said, corn was selling at -29 cents a bushel at Northern Indiana points and that soon after government aid was extended the price rose to 55 dents. Governor Enthusiastic Governor McCray was enthusiastic over the success of the fair, declaring that the state fair would soon have to be moved to Richmond. "This starter is a good indication of Wayne county's possibilities," said the governor. "You have more people here today than we had at any day of the state fair.' A large crowd of visitors was on the ground when Gov. McCray spoke, and people were pouring into the grounds in Increasing numbers. There was little doubt that the day's attendance would be a record breaker. - Applaud Remarks. Arriving at 1:15 o'clock, standard time, the governor almost at once began his brief speech and had left the grounds by 1:45 o'clock. He was received enthusiastically by the crowd and was interrupted several times by pplause. Quality of livestock exhibits at the fair compared favorably with those at the state fair, according to the statement of Governor McCray. "Your livestock exhibits are fully equal, if not superior to those shown at the state fair," he declared. Attendance at the . free, fair surpassed all expectations. Warned by the unprecedented mass of persons who came for the opening day, the management had taken ample precautions to handle today's crowd. The attendance was regarded as remarkable by officials of the fair associations of Eaton and Rushville, who were here Wednesday. The excellence and. wide variety of the exhibits, arranged in a comparatively short time, was a surprise to the visiting officials. Guards Stationed To prevent an unmanageable jam damaging or displacing the exhibits in the agricultural and domestic science halls, ropes were stretched and guards stationed to keep the crowd at a safe distance. It has also been necessary to station guards to keep the crowds from the diving pool. Concession stand owners reported an unusually heavy business and were satisfied with the receipts. Practically every stand was fringed with a crowd of buyers all afternoon and evening. The plying of the' Legion band received 'ie plaudits of thousands at the fair. The organization, which has been formed a few years, played music which received unstinted praise from the visitors and from musicians. The band is one of the few musical organizations of former service men in the United States and always is well received when it appears. Its members have given many hours of time to the organization. Rides on Grounds The long anticipated rides are on the grounds, having been delayed by the rail strike, which compelled travel by freight instead of express. Both the airplane glider and the merry-go-round are in the edge of the woods south of Roosevelt Field . One feature which attracted much attention Wednesday was a passenger carrying airplane which was flying over the grounds. Two New Paris flyers who have bought the Chenoweth plane, were flying from a field east of the grounds, and stated that (Please Turn to Page Fourteen)

Postmasterships of Sixth District Are Nearly All Filled PALCADU'M XEAVS Bt'REAU WASHINGTON, Sept. 14. With the nomination cf Ray H. Weisbrod for postmaster at Richmond, Ind., now before the senate for confirmation, practically ail the postmasterships in the sixth congressional district of Indiana have been filled. Without exception the new officials are Republicans. -The terms, of the few Democratic postmasters now remaining in the sixth district will not expire until next vear and these nositions will be filled with Republicans when the civil serv-! ice commission holds examinations and determines the lists of eligibles. These examinations will be held a few weeks before each vacancy occurs. The terms of the postmasters now serving at Cambridge City and Centerville both expire next summer. Rep. R. N. Elliott has received many letters and telegrams from residents of Richmond, Newcastle and Shelbyville expressing satisfaction with his selection of postmasters for those cities. These three offices are first class. The three appointments have been made within the past 10 days.. Headed Lists . Ray H. Weisbrod, appointed postaster at Richmond, and George E. Young, appointed postmaster at Shelbyvllle, headed their respective eligible lists. . Sam J. Bufkin, the new postmaster at Newcastle, was the highest Republican on the eligible list for that city. He was second on tha list. - Rep. Elliott's policy in filling postmastership vacancies with men the civil service commission has deter mined to be the best qualified, giving his preference to Republicans, was carried out by his appointments at Liberty, Brookville, Rushyille, Hagerstown, Knightstown and Connersville. This policy has met the public demand for efficiency in the administration of postoffices and has been an equitable basis for deciding several vigorously conducted factional contests RAILROAD INJUNCTION BATTLE IS CONTINUED (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Sept. 15. Despite the partial settlement of the railway shop men's strike, the injunction right in Judge James H. Wilkerson's court on Attorney General Daugherty's application for a preliminary restraining order against rail strikers was con tinued today. Peace settlements would not alter the government's determination to finish its case, spokesmen for the at torney general said. The government attorneys continued presentation of evidence in support of charges that a wide-spread conspiracy of violence and intimidation existed in connection with the shopmen's strike. x Weather Forecast FOR RICHMOND AND VICINITY By W.

"I am not satisfied with the way In

which, the coal strike has ended, but I feel confident that the president of the United States will solve the prob lems and I have no fear in my mind about the final outcome," declared Gov. Warren McCray, speaking before the Kiwanis club Thursday. The governor devoted a great portion of his address to the problem of education in Indiana institutions and to the building of roads. Gov. McCray praised such organizations as Kiwanis and civic institutions which stand for all best thing3 in civic affairs. "They help mold public sentiment and help in establishing law and order in the community," he said. "The disregard the people have for law is one of our greatest menaces, and is filling our correctional institutions. Has Done His Duty. Governor McCray said that he had done, in hi3 term,- just the things which his father had taught him to do and that was duty. "I am trying to do that which you loyal citizens want me to do, "he said. "Only a small percentage of coal is now in the bins of the people of Indiana, and we are being warned of the coming necessity of probably relying upon artificial heat this winter," the governor said. "I believe that the time is here for drastic measures. The operators and miners will reap their greatest reward from the present situation "We know the wages the miners are getting, but the prices of our coal have increased from one to 100 percent. Will Create Sentiment "I will try to create a sentiment with the . "' - dealers and the miners to prevent any rising prices. Governor McCray stressed the im portance of educational development in Indiana, and the importance of the correct expenditure of funds toward the improvement of roads in the state. The cause of education in the state is great. The building of a reforma tory is holding considerable interest at the present time. "Education is one of the most im portant of the matters of present times. It is our duty to the succeeding generations to perfect an educational system which will really be of benefit to them. We have been drifting downward in the expenditure of money in the educational institutions of Indiana, and I am exceedingly sorry of this sit uation. Discusses Education Matters of education depend on just what you put into it. When I entered office as governor of Indiana, Jan. 10, 1921, the legislature had been in session for five days and the first problem which confronted me was that of education. The legislators asked for an increase from 2.8 per cent to 10 per cent in the rate paid by tha tax payers toward the educational system of the state. "I said that I could net think of making such an increase without definite reason, but that I would look into the matter and find where the money would be spent. I asked them why Purdue and Indiana universities received two-fifths of the sum, and Normal received but one-fifth. This, the legislators could not answer. They said that it had always been so and that they knew no reaon for such a circumstance. Asks For Survey. "I asked for a survey of the situation throughout Indiana, but found that the contingent fund would not stand for such an expense, so I referred the matter to fhe Rockefeller foundation in New York. They immediately became interested in the conditions and came to my offices, spent an entire afternoon on the subject and went away thoroughly convinced on the need of a survey. "They came back, after conferring with the other members of the organization and spent nearly $65,000 in helping us to make the survey, and a report will be made about Oct. 1 on the result. "We found that we were getting away from fundamental principles. I then decided that I would go into the southern part of the state to see the conditions, which were reputed to be in such bad, straits." The chief executive described a visit to Crawford county where he found schools of the one-room type, built as far back as 50 to 70 years ago. Governor McCray continued: "I was convinced of the wisdom of the legislation in its action, ' for I found that these schools were being taught by teachers 15 and 16 years old, inexper ienced and unfit to teach elementary subjects. -' - "We find that prospective teachers instead of talcing subjects at normal school for the benefit of the, kind of schools they teach, take those courses, which will give credit toward further work in Indiana or Purdue universities. They do nQt give, their work a thought in order to advance the stand ing of the schools. The normal school of Indiana should spend the time to ground the teachers for work of teaching to make practical men and women out of the elementary students. Work i3 Needed "I know that Indiana must work to be perfect along the" lines of education. We dont like to be told that our system is poor; so- that is the big rea son for working to perfect it. - The governor stated that rapid strides' were being made toward big improvements of roads in Indiana, and declared that before his term of of fice was ended he hoped to have at least 1,500 miles of hard-surface roads

C. , ACCIDENT DOES NOT DETER "GIRL IN RED" FROM PERILOUS ACT The first accident of the season for the horse diving act occurred Wednes day evening when Miss "Jack" Carver, rider of the horse Klatawah failed to strike the water squarely with her mount. The sudden stop when the horso strikes the water means, at the best. a terrible jar for the rider; and if, as happened Wednesday evening, the rid er is not firmly seated on the horse's back at the time, she is likely to be snapped down against the horse's head by the sudden stop. On one occasion last summer a similar accident re sulted in minor injuries, but this time, Dr. W. F. Carver, owner of the act reports that she had as easy a fall as possible, and though severely shaken up and" bruised, she will be able to continue her act. Few Notice Accident Few in the audience were aware o the fall, only those immediately in front even knowing that the dive wa3 anything but a perfect one. Inquiry after the accident revealed the fact that the act, while the dives are 95 per cent perfect, still has large element of danger. A cowboy some years ago, desiring to have photograph of himself in the dive, finally secured the consent of the man agement to ride the horse. Failing to keep an even and tight seat, he struck the water ahead of the horse and was killed. 'The secret of the ride is to keep an exactly even balance so a3 not to swerve the horse's body during the fall, and to keep a tight seat on his back at the instant he strikes the water," said Dr. Carver, Thursday. If the 'Girl in Red' loosens her grip, she is in terrible danger. Also, she must anticipate the horse's movements and time her actions exactly to his. Secret of Jump "The jump is a one-two-three mo tion, with a little pause just before the horse takes off. Unwary riders have more than once gone on over ahead of the horse. At Peoria this summer an Indian girl rider, "Two Feathers" failed to Tceep her seat and sailed over the horse's head clear out to the farther edge of the pool, a distance of 3S feet. Fortunately It had been dug deeper than usual here and she suffered no senous harm. The first girl to try the dive also narrowly escaped death. She tried it without my knowledge, and went down ahead of the horse with him following exactly above her. He was the "Clown Horse" as we called him, an old stager as wise as any man. Seeing her below, he gave a mighty twist just before he struck the water, and threw himself to one (Please Turn to Page Fourteen) DUBLIN IS AROUSED BY HEAVY FIGHTING OVER WIDE SECTION ' (By Associated Press) BELFAST, Sept. 14. Reports from Dublin today tell of heavy fighting: heard over a wide area in that city shortly after midnight, reaching a climax between 12:30 and 1 o'clock. It appeared as if several posts were being attacked. For one thing it" was said the telephone exchange in Crown Alley was under attack for about 20 minutes, machine gun being ustd by the assailants, while another attack- ws made oh the four courts hotel where national army troops are stationed. Loud reverberations were heard1 along the quays, and in Sackville street and armored cars were hurried to the scene of the m firing. By two o'clock, however, quietness again prevailed. Last evening armed men raided the premises of the Dublin Clothing company on Wellington Quay, taking a number of National Army uniforms. Advices from Cork state that Timothy Kennefick, a prominent Republican of that city was dragged from a lorry by an armed band, while he was returning from Macroom and that later he was found shot dead.

ON VERGE OF CLASH

By LLOYD ALLEN (United Press Correspondent) LONDON, Sept 14. Another gred war, with Moslem hordes backed by millions of bolsheviks In arms against Europe- seemed but to await Its Sarejevo today. Further advances on the, forces of Mustapha Kemal towards Constant! nople, goal of the Turkish Nationalists may be the signal for declaration of war by Great Britain- Russia has en tered the conflict with open support of the Turks. The Dardenelles, the gateway of the near east, over which nations have fought for centuries, promise to be the touch-stone of a fresh world conflagration, if the Turks pursue their ambitions without regard for allied ultimatum. On Verge of Clash For two weeks the situation in the near east has changed from a petty war of national aspirations In Asia Minor to the actual verge of a great conflict involving war weary nation", of Europe in a clash with the ambitious nations of the Moslem world. The threat of war, admitted here today to be very real, stole upon Europe unexpectedly. Great Britain was almost stunned today to find ultimatums flying, troops being rushed to bloc the path of Turks headed for the Straighti and councils of war under way. It i3 reported that the. Turks havo halted their advance upo'a Constantinople. British guns are known to r-ir the way, enforcing the treaty of Sevres that forced the Turk out of EuropeBut intervention of Soviet Russia which demands the freedom of the Dardanelles' has added tremendous weight to Mustapha Kemal's threat to retake the port (By Associated Press) LONDON, Sept. 14. The impression is growing here that a Turkish Pace can only be arranged in a large international conference in which Russia, Rumania, Bulgaria and the other Balkan states participate. This impression is based in part upon the renewed expression of Russia's attitude regarding the Straits of the Dardanelles, as contained in her note of protest against the allied action in Constantinople, sent recently to Great Britain, in which she demands the question be settled primarily bv the powers that use the Black sea as an outlet to the ocean. LONDON, Sept. 14. The Eastern situation is causing considerable concern here. This is reflected in the editorial columns of the morning newspapers, some of wheh adopt distinctly alarmist tone. A grave crisis" confronts the pow ers, says. one. while others declare the situation is drifting to the danger point." That all the elements are present for another "flare-up of war" and that "the powers must act at once and in agreement; if they fail to agree nothing but a miracle can avert dis aster." - . . The one sentiment which dominates all is fear lest France, although agreeing to maintenance of the neutrality of Constantinople and the Straits of Dardanelles, may interpret "the legitimate aspirations' of the Turks in such a manner as to prevent the co-opera tion of Great Britain. Look To France. Those papers which are habitually suspicious of France comment strongly on her tenderness for the Turks and insist that the latter cannot be allowed to recover Thrace and Adrianople, which they believe France is willing to give them. Elsewhere the fairly confident hope is expressed that France eventually will agree to co-operate with Great Britain, which is generally credited with upholding the letter of the treaty of Sevres. Declaration of the French view is expected hourly and awaited with the greatest eagerness. If the fears regarding the French position is removed, the others fears will be immediately lessened but at present they are acute. Turkish military aggression is feared military activity in the Balkan countries is feared, incursion of the Russian Soviets into the troubled arena is feared while behind all is the restless menace of the immense Moslem population of India and the other Musselman communities. Intense Feeling Aroused. Each day bring fresh reports of the intense feeling aroused in the Mohammedan countries by the Turkish victory in Anatolia with indications of determination to support the Turkish claims with whatever means lie at

their disposal.' Reports from British India especially represent the Moslems there as greatly excited. The Daily Express today published a Cairo dispatch quoting information just received of equally intense excitement in Palestine. News of the Russian Soviet's note of protest against the allied action in Constantinople had not reached there when the dispatch was filed, but it will fall on soil prepared to receive it and add to the prevailing alarm. Wonder About Army. Fear of an attack on Constantinople by the Turkish Nationalists before the allies can reach an agreement has brought to the front 4he question of the whereabouts of the main Kemalist army which apparently never entered Smyrna. Is this army on Its way to the straits by. Becret orced. marches, it is asked. The urgent need of the quickest possible agreement of the allies is seen by even the calmest of the commentators, and a suggstion for an Immediate (Please Turn to Page Two)
